The RCP has announced the shortlist for the 2019 Excellence in Patient Care Awards. The awards were launched in 2015 to promote and reward the impressive work that physicians are doing around the world to improve patient care, through education, innovation, research and clinical practice.

As the health services face louder calls for a greater focus on person-centred, co-ordinated care, and more integrated services, Professor David Oliver highlights the key policy priorities for the RCP.

The NMCRR has published a new Mortality toolkit aimed at supporting trusts in implementing a standardised way of reviewing the case records of adults who have died in acute hospitals across England and Scotland.
